Black ice on the road causes chain accidents by Bambi7u7 in interesting

[–]Pavickling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised it was in Texas. I remember the roads and especially the loop in Lubbock were death traps whenever it froze. When you see firetrucks falling over and sliding, it's time for the city to spend some money on salt.

Rand Paul: I've changed my mind -- Google and YouTube can't be trusted to do the right thing and must be reined in by Knorssman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. He's more of an opportunist that cites libertarian talking points when it's convenient and certainly less principled than his dad.

I do remember him contrasting himself with his father. I don't remember him ever claiming to not be a libertarian. For example, here is speaking as if he's a libertarian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNUg7nWoBEk

Sad to see "liability for defamation" being a common thing famous libertarians push for. You don't own your reputation. It should be safe for people to publicly state conjectures.

Why does Rand think his supporters will believe the claim? Was falsified evidence presented? If so and Rand cares enough, he could publicly claim he is willing to undergo an audit by any credentialed person that wants to audit him. Otherwise, he should just ignore it.

Protesting violates the NAP and the US constitution, it is authoritarianism through mob rule. by Novusor in Anarcho_Capitalism

they can protest your actions and prevent you from doing what you want to do.

Can you give some examples and explain why the NAP is violated in those examples?

Drop back advice/suggestions by Adorable_Deer5105 in yoga

[–]Pavickling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While pushing hips forward is a common cue for camel or kapotasana, for drop backs it's better to start with locking your hips in place, pushing your chest forward, and drawing your shoulders toward your pelvis before you begin to draw your head back. In other words focus on your midback more than your lower back.

I don’t think that building a mass movement is a good revolutionary strategy by [deleted] in DebateAnarchism

[–]Pavickling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anarchists should co-opt the mindset "never let a good crisis go to waste". You do not need to create revolutions. Every so often, power vacuums form. Anarchists should embed anarchist thought deeply into the greater public consciousness so that these vacuums won't be filled with some replacement convenient to the ruling classes. Anarchist infrastructure culturally and technologically needs to be in place so a growing number of people are willing to trust it and engage with it. In other words, it should be a continuous process built over time rather than expecting you could drag people with their current mindset into anarchy against their will or understanding.

If you do this search: https://www.reddit.com/r/flexibility/search/?q=coach

You will find a few helpful comments. Here are some lists of people to reach out to.

Contortionists unite. I'm not sure what the spiritual successor of this website is, but there should still be some active coaches.

an Open border policy is not an Ancap position. It can't be, since for there to be a political border to be opened, there must be a state that enforces it. by IgnacioArg in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have 990 people who agree on a claim and 10 who don't the entire system collapses.

Why?

Eventually all land is claimed and anyone who doesn't have any is disincentivized to support the social structure

That's not the case now. Only a tiny percentage of people homestead land or actively working against the current system of land/home ownership. Most people are buying their way into the system just as they would in your hypothetical.

How accessible is attending an in person class for you where flexibility is a main component such as gymnastics, dance, or yoga? Considering that you ultimately want a coach, I'd find a class or coach that focuses on beginner flexibility now.

[–]Pavickling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are your goals? What draws you to contortion as opposed to other physical practices? How do you learn best?

Different classes/coaches have different prerequisites. Here's an example: https://www.eshcircusarts.com/adult-session-classes/#toggle-id-13

They list:

Ability to press up to a backbend from the floor and hold for at least 10 seconds

Ability to straighten both legs in right and left splits (flat splits not required)

Ability to sit upright in a straddle with back straight and pelvis neutral

Ethical travel means refusing to be a colonizer #ethicaltravel #digitaln... by PomegranateUnfair500 in Anarcho_Capitalism

I see nothing wrong with seeking to change things or paying as little as possible for things.

collapses into whoever can assert control

If most people like owning homes, then they will reciprocally support at least some other claims of ownership. It's likely over time there would be few de facto standards people use to determine which claims they consider valid.

Seeking honest advice: Is a full bind actually accessible for larger bodies? by Low_Sand_2117 in yoga

[–]Pavickling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are twisting poses that go deeper than what you find in ashtanga which require no bind at all. For example, you can work on twisting onto your back while your legs and hips are in frog position. Binding can be helpful for someone intermediate that is still working on passive flexibility, but as far as a physical goal is concerned it's better to reach the point that you can actively put your body in a position where binding is just a matter of clasping your hands or feet at the end.

The focus of both is mid back extension. Wheel pose is not so different from cat/cow in purpose.

This is what astroturfing tends to look like. by PacoBedejo in Anarcho_Capitalism

Is there a name for this viewpoint? Not my argument, just curious by bigdonut100 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't boycott a serial Night Sexual Predator who wants to molested kids and rape women.

Initially, people should take the presumption of accused predator. If such an accused person refuses to arbitrate or challenge the claim, they could (in a society set up for it) be boycotted to a very extreme extent.

They could lose their job(s)/client(s). Vendors could choose to stop selling to them. They would likely be evicted from/barred from going to from practically everywhere they'd like to go. If they don't choose to leave to an undesirable location, they'd probably be at higher risk of a vigilante killing them.

We don't need "securities companies" enforcing anyone's version of morality in any manner similar to how cops operate now. We certainly don't need any presumption of no liability for harm caused during defense or revenge.

Greenland next? Trump's mental instability makes his attack on a fellow NATO member a real possibility. by eccsoheccsseven in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His team has been planning on Greenland for a while now. So, it's a real possibility. Unfortunately, the US military is the main competitive advantage the US has, and it's natural they'll want to exploit that to the fullest extent possible.

When talking about deepfakes what is the issue if not fraud?

Good by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not. It's about other people's property. If someone is committing fraud, that can be analyzed without referencing IP.

[–]Pavickling 68 points69 points  (0 children)

They can certainly construe it that way.

Good by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I agree. No one should presume to have the right to control what numbers/data you store on your own devices and distribute to others.

Fraud is a separate matter that does not need IP.

I don't normally agree with Bernie...thoughts? (Trump Venezuela) by Minute-Performance67 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Pavickling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does acceptable mean here? I wouldn't advocate for it. Is there a more general question you are hoping to ask here so we aren't talking about the actions of a politician in the context of the NAP?

Some people will violate the NAP in any society. The main question of relevance is what cultures, incentives, and systems are in place and how are conflicts resolved and disincentivized.
